Hello! My name is Todd and after what seems like a few months to get validated, I'm finally allowed to participate here. I'm a pretty active member on the Link forums, but that's pretty much where I stick to and don't venture out much from there. I've actually been pretty quiet this winter, just taking a little break from cars.

With that said, I own a '97 GSX, Auto, with an FP3065, HKS cams, Link V3/SD, 1680 Hi-Z injectors, and a built 2.0L block thanks to board member Carl (carltalon on Link forums) who bought my 1998 black GSX off of me this winter. I'm shooting for 130 traps on straight pump gas (93) as my goal for 2012. I was only able to muster an 11.8@115 on my old HTA68 but have learned a lot more about tuning since then. Trans is mostly stock inside, but it does have an IPT restall, IPT end clutch kit, upgraded cooler, Amsoil ATF inside, shift kit, and a ForeignMuscle-programmed TCU.

Beyond all that, it's me, my wife, three rescue dogs, two cats, and a house in Northern Indiana. My favorite other hobbies are cooking and home audio/theater. I'm hoping I can be a solid contributor here and just wanted to say hello and thanks for the space. See you out there!

I am also new waited months to finally get an approval email. Name is Jack AKA The Canadian Jackal I own a 2009 Mitsu Ralliart best time for 1/4 mile 13.2 and I have done pretty much every type of racing with the car ie. SCCA Solo Sprint, road race, drag race, ice race, Rally Cross, Auto cross, You name it. Hoping to sell it in a years time to buy an Evo X. Hope to contribute where I can and have started fabricating stuff for my car as most of the stuff I want to do to my car does not exist. Step one built skid plate and cut out crash beam to increase airflow for bigger intercooler.

Those are with the HTA68, I'll get some of how it looks now, things are much cleaner under their these days. I've got some FP2 cams to throw in and a rear LSD for the track this spring. This winter I'm planning to do a full trans overhaul with a welded center diff. Other than that, it's just a matter of tuning it better and for more boost.
